Bab 516: The Worst Father?

While greed takes over Tyrion's mind, even his pride takes second place. "I'm sorry if I was too hard on you, Lucien, but you must understand that a father has to make sure a man is really the best for his daughter, right?"

Lucien doesn't quite comprehend what it means to be a father, but when he thinks of the child in Sophia's belly and in his other wives, he feels a powerful instinctive urge to protect them at all costs and make them as happy as possible, something that Tyrion is clearly not doing with Kamala.

But now is not the time to put her and Mira at risk, so he pretends the best he can. "And now you're sure I'm good for her?"

Tyrion smiles and nods while Tanu cleans his clothes. "You faced the Great Naga King because you thought it was better for her, so clearly you love her a lot, don't you?"

Kamala was disgusted by Tyrion's fake paternal speech but is now afraid to hear a fake response from Lucien.
